Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

In-season inventory management for a global fashion/ecommerce brand: reducing stockouts and overstock across channels and regions, speeding up allocation and replenishment decisions, and improving sell-through and margin without adding more planners or analysts.

Value Drivers

Reduced lost sales from stockouts by smarter, faster replenishmentLower markdowns and write-offs by proactively rebalancing slow-moving inventoryHigher sell-through and full-price sell-through via better sizing, color, and location decisionsLabor productivity: fewer manual spreadsheets and ad hoc analyses for planners and merchandisersDecision speed: near real-time response to demand signals across stores and ecommerceImproved forecasting and buy decisions for future seasons using in-season learnings

Strategic Moat

Tight integration into the retailer’s existing merchandising and inventory workflows plus access to retailer-specific demand, channel, and product data (styles, colors, sizes, regions) that fine-tune the AI policies and make it hard for generic tools to replicate performance quickly.

Differentiation Factor

Positioned as AI agents that can operate more autonomously and conversationally over a retailer’s data, rather than a traditional rules-based or dashboard-centric planning system; focuses on in-season, high-frequency decisions (allocation, replenishment, transfers) rather than just pre-season planning.
